General Manager – Los Alamos

Sundt•Apache Junction, AZ

16h•Onsite

About The Position

Sundt Construction is establishing a wholly owned industrial fabrication and modularization subsidiary to advance industrialized construction delivery across its portfolio. The business will provide integrated structural, mechanical, electrical, heavy plate, tank, duct, and multi-trade fabrication and modularization services. Primary markets include heavy industrial and mining, power generation and energy infrastructure, pulp and paper, water and wastewater treatment facilities, and advanced manufacturing/high-tech facilities. In its early stages, the business will primarily support Sundt's internal construction projects through off-site manufacturing (OSM) and select third party fabrication projects for mining clients. The primary goal of our OSM work is delivering schedule certainty, enhanced safety, labor risk mitigation, and improved productivity. Over time, additional selective external growth may be pursued. The General Manager (GM) will lead the formation, scaling, and long-term performance of this subsidiary, with full accountability for strategy, operations, Net Operating Income (NOI), capital deployment, and integration with Sundt's project delivery teams. This role includes a mandate to build a next-generation, technology-enabled fabrication platform leveraging automation, robotics, digital manufacturing systems, and Al-driven optimization.
